headlamp

✨ Enhancements:

• New notifications page
• Reflect tables' pagination in the URL (for easier sharing of the same views)
• Use browser back when going back from the details view, so URL params like pagination are kept when going back
• Allow to apply multiple resources at once (YAML divided by --- or a top-level JSON array; back-to-back JSON resources soon)
• Print pods' statuses following kubectl format (now it shows the reason rather than just running/not-running) (thanks to @lijianzhi01 )
• Allow to filter/search by type in the events table of the cluster overview
• List related pods using label selectors (thanks to @lijianzhi01 )
• Improve the log viewer UX (special thanks to @lijianzhi01 ):
  • Add search capability
  • Add copy&paste capability
  • Use xterm as the viewer: allows to copy/paste even when the contents get updated, handles line wrapping better, etc.
• Add new HPA, PDB, ResourceQuota and PriorityClass sections

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fix showing/hiding search filter when
• Logos that are overridden by plugins will now also be used in the cluster chooser title
• Make namespace filter persistent in the URL across views (even when the resources highlighted in the view aren't namespaced)
• Do not duplicate entries in the logs viewer
• Set HTML language when the page loads
• Fix docs viewer
• Prevent crash in label selector
• Limit the number of notifications stored (to avoid reaching the local storage limits)

💻 Development

• Dependency updates
• Simplify how views can be used in Storybook: now views can be used even if they depend on URL parameters, making it easier to test/maintain
• Optimize useGet so it updates only when needed
• Add e2e tests
• Update Homebrew cask and minikube addon automatically
• Prevent a lot of warnings when testing
• Update alpine version in Dockerfile (thanks to @spowelljr )

✨ Enhancements:

🐞 Bug fixes

• Do not quit when a CA file for a cluster cannot be found
• Add a timeout when fetching releases, so that logic only hangs Headlamp's start-up for max 5 secs
  (more improvements will be added later)
• Keep filter header opened when the search entry has no text, so prevent an abrupt scroll down
• Fix crash and type expectation in SimpleTable's data (it should expect an array)
• Fix filtering (searching in tables) by fields that are numeric
• Allow sorting in SimpleTable when datum is used to define columns
• Prevent repeated route reset when navigating to different routes while deleting a resource

💻 Development

• Plugins: Add registerRouteFilter and registerSidebarEntryFilter
• Simplify testing of components (it should now be easier to test a whole details/list component without having to split it)
• Automatically file a PR for bumping the Homebrew and Minikube's addon version when a Headlamp version is released
• Add a default filter function to the ResourceTable (i.e. this component know allows to automatically filter contents)
• Add a new useGet hook which makes getting details from each resource class simpler
• DEPRECATED:
  • Route.noCluster: Use Route.useClusterURL instead.

headlamp-plugin is a tool to help with making plugins for Headlamp (the extensible Kubernetes UI).

• frontend plugins: Add hideAppBar option to routes so routes can be shown without an appbar. See hideAppBar used in sidebar example #698
• plugins: Add registerRouteFilter and registerSidebarEntryFilter which allows plugins to remove routes, and sidebar menu items. See registerRouteFilter and registerSidebarEntryFilter used in sidebar example. #693
• headlamp-plugin: upgrade improvements - check and audit after upgrade, fail better, README #688
• plugins/examples: upgrade plugins/examples, so examples are up to date #682
• headlamp-plugin: Convert tests to js from bash, so tests run cross platform #678

To use this new headlamp-plugin version with existing plugins, please update your plugin package.json file:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin": "^0.5.3"
  }

This release of headlamp-plugin is compatible with Headlamp 0.12.1.

Important: We have noticed that launching Headlamp after updating it to a new version feels sometimes slow and this has to do with the release notes that are shown when launching the app. We will work to fix this issue ASAP.

🐞 Bug fixes

• Do not crash the backend when a CA file is not found
• Fix searching/filtering table views
• Fix filtering Worklows by their kind
• Fix copying wrapped lines in the Terminal view on Windows containers
• Fix crash when the data provided to tables is null
• Set default namespace when applying a resource that needs it but doesn't declare one
• Prevent routes not being found due to the routes' name case not matching
• Fix cluster button extending over what's reasonable when the cluster title is very long

💻 Development

• Allow sidebar's entries be filtered by plugins (details in the next headlamp-plugin release)
• Add hideAppBar option to routes (so the top bar is not visible on certain routes)
• Test container image inside k8s in CI
• Many improvements in the infrastructure and automation, freeing core developers to focus on other things

Headlamp is an easy-to-use and extensible Kubernetes web UI.

headlamp-plugin is a tool to help with making plugins for Headlamp (the extensible Kubernetes UI).

To use this new headlamp-plugin version with existing plugins, please update your plugin package.json file:

  "devDependencies": {
    "@kinvolk/headlamp-plugin": "^0.5.2"
  }

This release of headlamp-plugin is compatible with Headlamp 0.12.0.

✨ Enhancements:

• Stop plugins if they fail to be loaded or to render components. This prevents Headlamp from crashing if the plugins fail
• Improve the user-experience in the namespace filter when having multiple namespaces selected (it no longer spans over one line)
• Headlamp can be installed using Chocolatey 🍫 (for Windows)
• Show containers' ports and image pull policy in the UI
• Do not scroll the log viewer to the bottom when new logs arrive, if the user has previously scrolled it up (to prevent disrupting the reading)
• All dates now show the timezone information (if the date is abbreviated/relative, then the full date is shown on hover)
• Dates are now shown in a minimalist format, with the hover option for showing the full date
• Add a new version/build dialog. This allows users to see which version of Headlamp they're running in the UI, which helps when
  reporting bugs
• Headlamp is now also available as a Debian package (download from its Github's release page for now)

New minimalist date + full date tooltip on hover:

New version dialog (access it from the cluster chooser dialog's (i) button or the user menu):

🐞 Bug fixes

• Fix showing the notification about a new Headlamp version (desktop only)
• Prevent the views' width from being expanded if values in tables are too long
• Fix margin issues when in small screens
• Center the cluster chooser button in the top bar (updating its position depending on whether the sidebar is opened or not)
• Fix conditional use of hooks in a component
• Fix showing the release notes (desktop only)
• Fix/improve sidebar UX in small screens (width=sm)

💻 Development

• Allow to disable checking for new updates (desktop-relevant only)
• Allow to pass the cluster when getting a route URL (instead of just using the currently selected cluster)
• Add test to prevent unintended or forgotten exports of components for plugins
• New dependency updates, including a new Electron (19.0.8) and electron-builder (23.1.0) versions
• Add proxy endpoint to backend: when enabled/configured, this endpoint allows plugins to reach external APIs without being blocked
  for origin issues (desktop only)
• Add a new ResourceTable component which makes it very simple to consistently display K8s resource lists
• Replace javascript-time-ago with humanize-duration. The former's newer versions break compatibility, and the new lib is much lighter
• Add a command to generate a .msi installer
• Wait for plugins to be loaded before showing views. This prevents default routes/views from being shown until plugins are loaded,
  giving them the chance to override them without the user seeing the default ones
• Wait for plugins to be loaded before showing the app menus (desktop only)

📖 Documentation

• Add new special build options to docs
